The Meaning of Home

The meaning of home to me is a place to stay and eat and rest with all the things you need to survive around you. A place to keep you calm and to keep you safe. The sound of laughter fills the room and the smell of pastries and baked goods in the oven. Something that makes me know that I am home is seeing my cat running around in my yard and seeing the signature tree next to our car with a pole from a mailbox with no box on top. There is the colour red and great woods in our backyard. Home is fun, happy, and awesome. The smell of our next supper and which smells like the best thing in the world. All things that keep me and my brothers entertained and happy, Fun games being played and a joyful place to get your energy back to get up and start doing whatever makes you happy. Enjoy the peace and be happy about what you have. Whether you are happy or not feeling so great, home will always cheer me up and before I know it I will be doing something that makes me happy again, because when I am at home, NOTHING, keeps me unhappy for long.
